Pups Dig It Here — Pet-Friendly Apartments in Atlanta

Planning to move to Atlanta with your best friend? If you like going out and about with your dog, there are plenty of cool activities and on- and off-leash doggie parks. Relax with a cup of coffee in Park Ground while your dog romps in the off-leash area. It’s only one of many parks with off-leash doggie areas, but it’s the only one with a coffee shop! Pet-friendly restaurants welcome pooches on the patio, and with more than 80 venues to choose from, you will never get bored of either one. Your dog will agree that Atlanta is a great place to call home!

You won’t have difficulty in finding a pet-friendly apartment in just about any area and price range. Pet-friendly apartments for rent in Atlanta range from down-to-earth to those boasting a range of five-star amenities for you and your pooch. Of course, purr pals are also catered for.

RENTCafé offers more than 250 pet-friendly listings to choose from in Atlanta, and here’s a sampling of what’s on offer:

Affordable and smart, Lexington Apartment Homes allows you to choose from a number of different floor plans starting at $575. It’s close to everything you need from shops to public transport, and the pet policy is pretty liberal. Yes, there are breed restrictions and there’s a once-off, non-refundable $300 pet fee, but the pet rent is just $10 per month extra. The Meadow Lark North dog park is there for you when it comes to walkies time!

Don’t be fooled by the name—WestMar Student Lofts doesn’t just consist of studio apartments for students. Get fully secure two- to three-bedroom apartments from as low as $655 per month. There’s even a swimming pool and outdoor relaxation area. Bring up to two cats or your dog along. There’s a $300 once-off fee and a refundable deposit of $200. Take your pet for a walk in one of the nearby parks or hire any one of the many dog walking services to do it for you.

With all the amenities you could wish for and more, you’re probably wondering if the one- and two-bedroom apartments at Arium Dunwoody aren’t too posh for pets, but you’d be mistaken. Up to two pets—kitties or pups—are very welcome for a rental of just $25 per month. There’s also a $300 once-off fee, and Fido can’t be bigger than 75lb. If your kitty weighs more than that—pardon our ruggedness—it’s probably time for a diet!

Lindbergh-Morosgo is a very pleasant area indeed. Get a very upmarket, airy one- to three-bedroom apartment at Post Lindbergh from $1,075 and enjoy a list of amenities as long as your arm. The complex allows you to keep up to two cats or dogs (or one of each). Fido shouldn’t weigh more than 80lb and the pet deposit and once-off fee depends on the size of your pet. If your pet weighs 30lb or less, that’s $500 of which $150 is refundable, and bigger boys and girls can stay after you’ve paid $1,000 of which $250 is refundable.

If you and Fluffy love the high life, then you should definitely check out one of the super-plush designer apartments at 05 Buckhead in Buckhead Forest. Gorgeously designed apartments with huge windows and fabulous communal recreation areas are all part of the package. Your cat’s one-off fee is $750, while a non-aggressive breed pooch weighing up to 45lb can stay for a deposit of $300 plus a one-time fee of $750. You and your pets will be living in the lap of luxury. Your cat, in particular, is bound to approve!

This is just a tiny taste of the great pet friendly apartments you’ll find in Atlanta. To see all 250+ of them, head to RENTCafé.com and find the perfect apartment for you and your fur family.
